Abstract:
Nowadays, business environment is so unpredictable that the only definitive point is change. Major consultancies have recognized that organizations embracing digital transformation have gained, and continue to gain, the knowledge, insight and understanding critical for deriving a competitive advantage over untransformed competitors. Many articles have highlighted digital transformation as vital to the survival of the organization. However, transformation poses significant challenges. Enterprises are concerned with uncertainty and unpredictability within their environment, which pressures their organizational ability to capture and react to external changes. Such organizational adaptability is primarily associated with the concept of agility. Agile transformation requires a holistic approach throughout the organization which requires a meaningful change in the entire mindset of an organization and its culture. Digital transformation requires business agility, and applying the lessons of Agile across the entire organization is the only approach that has shown consistent success. Numerous articles and reports have introduced Agile as an appropriate framework for digital transformation, yet there is a lack of academic papers in this field. This research, using a systematic literature review, aims to design a life cycle of digital transformation to improve the process of digital transformation in organizations through agile thinking.
